How do we know about Vijayanagara Empire? (or) What are the sources for building the history of the Vijayanagara kingdom? |
|
Answer» We know much about Vijayanagara Empire from inscriptions, books and buildings of that period. The detailed accounts were left by travellers from several countries – Nicolo Conti, from Italy who visited Vijayanagara in 1420 AD, Abdul Razzak the Persian trader who visited it in 1443 AD, the Portuguese travellers and Peas who visited it in 1520 AD and Nuniz who wrote in 1537 AD. From these sources, we get insights into the daily life, the administration and the social organisation of the kingdom. |
